I think if Gerrit Cole can get to 200 Wins and 3000 strikeouts before the end of his career (both pretty attainable), he'll have a pretty good shot.
Of course that will depend on if he becomes one of those pitchers that stays somewhat dominant throughout his thirties, or if he starts to fade away in his early 30's like most guys naturally seem to do.
He needs to get there through longevity. He was never dominant enough to have a short-ish career and get in anyways.
